Restore Rac database in another cluster

Hello, I have a rac database in a clusterware compose by two node, for example node_1 and node_2, but now I need to pass the rac database from this original cluster to another that already exist.
I have two idea but I do not know if they are correct. One is create a template from my Rac database, and then in the second cluster create a rac database from it. The second idea is to make a copy of the pfile and level 0 RMAN backup in one node of the second cluster and then restore the database there.
Maybe twice idea are bad or maybe exist a better form to do it. I hope you can help me.

Hi,
Well, I believe that I was not clear in my last explanation.
The hypothetical scenario is:
One database using ASM (database name orcl) , two inatances in two separated servers (nodes serv1 and serv2) and two instances ( orcl1 and orcl1).
In this scenary I lost everything and just have the backups of spfile, controlfile, database and archives.
So the steps to recovery is (using serv1):
1- Create the cluster (install clusteware, create CRS/Vdisk, create ASM instance)
2 - Just install the oracle files in all nodes serv1 and serv2, but don't create the instance orcl1 and orcl2.
3 - restore/recover spfile - rman
4 - restore/recover controlfile - rman
5 - restore/recover database with until clause - rman
After these steps the instance orcl1 will be restored by RMAN in the serv1 and the database orcl was created in the ASM.
But, plese correct if I'm wrong, the instance and database will not be registered in CRS (RMAN not register the instance).
So I need to registry the instance and database with srvctl, doing:
1 - create PFILE in serv1 for orcl1 (that point to SPFILE in ASM) and ORAPWD file.
2 - add the database orcl to CRS
3 - add the instance orcl1 to CRS
4 - add the dependency about ASM and orcl1 from the node serv1 (using srvclt)
But after this I have the instance orcl2 in serv2 to create.
Just the instance, because the binaries already installed and the database was already created.
TO complete I need to do the steps:
1 - Copy/Create PFILE for instance orcl2 in serv2
2 - add the instance orcl2 to CRS (using srvctl add instance)
3 - add the dependency about ASM instance (that exists in server2) and Instance orcl2 from the node serv2 (using srvctl)
4 - create PFILE and ORAPWD file.
The question is, RMAN will registry the instanci and database in CRS?
Another question, the RMAN will create PFILE and registry all instances of the original cluster?
I believe that not for two questions, correct?
Exists another path to restore/recover the RAC in this scenary?
Thanks.

DR type restore of 10gR1 RAC with ASM database to another cluster

Hi,
We have a requirement to restore the image copy of our production database to another location. The production database is a 10-node 10gR1 RAC deployment with ASM. The image copy is in the FRA.
We want to restore this image copy onto a 2-node 10gR1 RAC cluster, which is also running a development environment. We have so far used the 'backup copy copy of database' command to pipe the image copy from the FRA to an NFS mounted filesystem. We plan to restore (and convert the names) the files from here. I have a list of steps we need to undertake - like adding the production database metadata on the development cluster into CRS, restore the spfile and controlfile, restore and convert the datafiles from the production ASM diskgroup to the development ASM diskgroup.
has anyone out there done this? Are there any nasty 'gotchas' or pitfalls?
Please, tell me your pain so I can spare it myself :o)
regards
Dilbert

We are planning to take cold backup through RMAN. But now the issue is that if something going wrong with the storage then both the diskgroup on the same storage will not be mounted.
What should be the backup & recovery strategy for this scenario? How to bring the server back online?The strategy depends entirely on the risk analysis and assessment. Do you need to be able to recover the database to the moment just before it crashed? Do you need point-in-time recovery? What are the availability requirements? Etc.
Databases can be quite diverse in nature. It can be fairly static with very few changes, to very dynamic to totally dynamic. In some cases, the database only needs to be restored as a "container" (structures with no data) as that is all the processes need and as these will supply the data. In other cases, the entire database with all committed transactions to the second before the crash is needed. In a few cases, you may want to use Data Guard and standby/clone databases instead.
There is no single set of rman instructions that you can copy-and-paste to implement any of these diverse backup and recovery strategies. You need to determine and define your backup, restore and availability requirement first - before looking at which rman commands to use and in what sequence, where and when.

Restoration of ASM/RAC database to another clustered set of servers for DataGuard implementation

Hi all,
I've been working with single instance Oracle DBs for several years and we're now looking into RAC. I'm trying to gather as much info as possible in areas I think may be challenging if/when we implement RAC.
Can someone please help me with some info with regards to the scenarion below:
Assuming I already have a 2 node RAC database running and I want to set-up a failover RAC database, would the following steps be correct(assuming 11g):
Configure hardware, networking and O/S for 2 node RAC cluster (I know there's a lot in this single line, but let's just assume that's all done)
Configure disks for ASM
Clusterware installation
Oracle ASM software installation
Oracle11g software installation with RAC option
Database creation
***I'm not sure of the steps after database creation:
Export primary database up to a specific SCN (data pump gives the ability to specify scn)
Import into failover database
Switch on dataguard and sync failover starting from scn specified at export.
Please, help correct these steps and any useful link where this process is treated thoroughly would be highly appreciated.

This is a very high level overview of the steps, but here are some additions/amendments I can make:
Clusterware installation
Oracle ASM software installation
-- The above 2 steps are done at the same time. In 11g, the Oracle 11g Grid Infrastructure includes both the Clusterware and ASM installation and configuration.
Oracle11g software installation with RAC option
Database creation
***I'm not sure of the steps after database creation:
Export primary database up to a specific SCN (data pump gives the ability to specify scn)
Import into failover database
Switch on dataguard and sync failover starting from scn specified at export.
Will you be using Data Guard for a physical standby? If so, using RMAN would be the correct method in creating the standby database. The general steps would be:
- Oracle 11g software installation
- Backup Primary Database
- Configure Data Guard Parameters on Primary
- Duplicate Primary to Standby RAC using RMAN (can be done manually or through the RMAN DUPLICATE command)
- Enable log transport from primary, enable managed recovery on standby, and verify log transport and apply is working as intended.
Again this is a very general overview on the entire process, there are other factors that you'll have to take into consideration when planning such a project:
- Which protection mode will you be using? Maximum Performance, Availability, or Protection? The business' recovery goals and SLAs will be able to determine which mode you will choose.
- Will the standby be used for reporting purposes?
- Recommended to have your standby site have the same hardware configuration as the primary.
- Do you have an EM site already set-up? Data Guard Broker should be considered in the configuration of the Data Guard environment.
This is just a few things quickly off the top of my head. What OS do you have/plan on using? I don't have the link handy on me at the moment, but the official Oracle documentation should provide detailed guidance.
EDIT:
At a bare minimum, read the 2 Day RAC Guide. There is more detailed information in the RAC Admin and Deployment Guide, as well as the Data Guard Concepts and Admin Guide. Also here's a step-by-step guide provided by Oracle. You can also find several blogs that provide a more concise step-by-step guide, such as here, here, and here. RACSIG also has a number of very useful whitepapers, but something seems to be wrong with their search function and I can't link anything at the moment. However, I would highly recommend reading through the official documentation as this has more comprehensive information, especially if you are deploying on a production system.

Oracle RAC + Clusterware and another Cluster with Clusterware for SAP

Hi,
I have some questions about implementation of Oracle RAC and Clusterware with SAP
For exemple, an architecture with 4 servers ( 2 real and 2 vritual ).
I would like to know if i can do this
2 servers for the first cluster.
First cluster is with Clusterware and Oracle RAC
This is for all the SAP Oracle databases environment
I think there is no problem here.
Now, with 2 others servers il would like to make another cluster (with also clusterware ) for SAP Central services (SCS) and enque replication server (ERS)
Because all architecture is for only one SAP environment with separate services.
1 for Database (cluster 1)
1 for Central services ( cluster 2, virtual machine )
1 for Dialogue Instance (no cluster)
To be clear, the second cluster is to make HA of central services SAP (SCS and ERS )
My question 2 are :
Is it a good job to do this ? or there is anything wrong ?
Do i have to install antoher clusterware for this 2 servers or i have to make anything with the existing clusterware + oracle RAC ??
Thank you very much for you help

Hi Givre,
have you checked: Providing High Availability for SAP Resources (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clusterware/pdf/sap-availability-on-rac-twp.pdf) available on otn.oracle.com/clusterware? Not being an SAP expert myself, I still think, this paper describes the configuration - at least partially - that you are trying to set up.
Just an idea. Thanks,
Markus

Restore RAC database from non-RAC source - EBS R12.1.1

We have restored (PIT) a RAC database from a non-RAC (but ASM) source and I was wondering if that was a reasonable thing to do.
The reason I ask is that I seem to remember that in the upgrade to R12.1.1 the upgrade driver had a different list of jobs to do when the target was RAC vs when it was non-RAC... so is it possible the EBS R12.1.1 code is different for RAC (meaning we dont have the right code base in the DB since we restored a non-RAC source to a RAC destination)?
Disclaimer - I am NOT a DBA .. just trying to identify some potential problems we are troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance!
EBS R12.1.1
OEL 5
11gR2

We have a RMAN back up of the non-RAC database that was restored and PIT recovered on the RAC database.Is it a full database backup?
The "code" base I am referring to is all the db stored objects for R12 EBS .. database compiled code.Restoring the RMAN backup on the target node is not enough. Have you run AutoConfig or postclone? Does your instance know that this is a a single instance and not a RAC one?
I am nervous that there may be alternate versions of the code to run in RAC vs non-RAC .. for instance I know that some of the ASCP jobs use DBMS PIPES and that can be tricky with RAC and Concurrent Manager.. And when we did the upgrade to R12, pointing it @ RAC generated more and different jobs than when it was not pointed @ RAC .. so SOMETHING was different according to the APPS ADPATCH/ADADMIN utilities.Please explain in details what is the purpose of doing this restore and what exactly you are trying to achieve. What cloning procedure you follow to refresh the target instance?
Thanks,
Hussein

Restoring RAC database to single instance

We run a 2-node RAC instance on 11g (Standard Edition) under SuSE 10 but our remote disaster recovery machine just runs a single instance.
Is it possible to restore from RMAN in this case and how should we go about it?
Thanks!

It is always possible to restore a RAC database backup to single instance. Infact restores are generally made to a single instance. After the restore we convert the database to RAC with required number of instances. Depending on the procedure you use the steps vary.

Question about DBCA generate script o create RAC database 2 node cluster

Question about creating two node RAC database 11g after installing and configuration 11g clusterware. I've used DBCA to generate script to create a rac database. I've set
environment variable ORACLE_SID=RAC and the creating script creates instance of RAC1 and RAC2. My understanding is that each node will represent a node, however there should only be one database with a name of 'RAC'. Please advise

You are getting your terminology mixed up.
You only have one database. Take a look, there are one set of datafiles on shared storage.
You have 2 instances which are accessing one database.
Database name is RAC. Instance names are RAC1, RAC2, etc, etc.
Also, if you look at the listener configuration and if your tnsnames is setup properly then connecting to RAC will connect you to either one of the instances wheras connecting to RAC1 will connect you to that instance.

Possible to start a rac database from another standard oracle kernel ?

With oracle RAC 10g R2 :
If all nodes of a ORACLE RAC platform go down, is it possible to restart the database (with existing datafiles) from another oracle standard kernel 10g R2 ?
Thanks for help : )

That is an interesting question.. it should be possible.. you will definitely need a copy of your init.ora file. As long as the database files (control files, archive logs and redo logs) are on shared storage you should be able to start the database. Off course you will not have all the clustering features. I think it would be safe to disable the cluster database mode by setting the parameter CLUSTER_DATABASE = 'FALSE'.
hmmmm... what if you are using ASM? It could be bit more tricky in this case. Depending on the O/S and other ASM components for example ASMLib used. I think it should be possible.. never tried one though.
You may need to turn off the CLUSTER_DATABASE parameter on ASM as well.
You will need to create an ASM instance! and get the diskgroups mounted manually. if you plan to try.. do post your findings for the benefit of other readers..

Restore 9i Database to Another Server but Same Database Name

hi experts,
This is 9i on Windows.
I want to restore my RMAN backup from production server to my test server.
I know the db names have to be the same for RMAN to work.
Can I restore from my full backup -- test server, then change the db name on the test server? The database name on test needs to be different to prevent someone from accidentally connecting to test but thinking it is production.
Is this possible to do?
Again, 9i on Windows.
Thanks, John

Hi piontkdd
I do this in 9i all time, without using duplicate.
General idea:
Copy rman backups to test server
create dummy init.ora with production database name.
if you want, SET NEWNAME for different filesystem and restore datafiles.
Recover database. Open database.
alter database rename global_name to 'whatever'
shutdown and then mount. use nid.sh to change the DBID and Database name (Can't remember how you do this on windows). shutdown and set up your new spfile/init.ora and change your services with oradim.exe
could you elaborate the same steps i have the scenario to make sure my production database works fine in case of any disaster , on the production machine itself i have to restore database.

Restore new database form another database backup

It is possible to restore a new database on a new host from old database backup files (after old database failed from media failure)?
I want to do it just for testing purpose.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance!

Since you hide OS and database version, only a general advice is possible: see the chapter 'restore database to a new host' in the documentation provided for your environment.

Urgent: How to restore a database to another machine without backup files

I am a beginner with Oracle and need to solve a tough problem.
I have all the files of a database on a hard disk without previously backed up. I don't have the old machine right now, I only have the hard disk from the old machine, and the new machine. There is an Oracle 9i database on the harddisk, and we need make the database work.
I've already installed the Oracle 9i on the computer(Win XP), put the files to the right folder, modified the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, then I added the database from:
OEM -> Navigator -> Add database to tree -> Add selected databases from your local tnsnames.ora file ...
When I tried to connect to the database, I got the error:
ORA-12500: TNS: listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
The setting in my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora are all correct. tnsping <tnsname> is OK. Besides, the default database installed by the ORACLE software works fine.
Both the old machine and the new machine are Window XP. Both the old database and the new database are ORACLE 9i.
Any idea on how to mannually make it work? Thank you inadvance!
Lihua

Lihua,
Since you didn't create the DB with DBCA, you will need to manually create a SID.
From a command window type
ORADIM -NEW -SID mydb
Replace mydb with the DBNAME specified in your init.ora and listener.ora files.
This will create and start the service. The service should now be available as a windows service in the computer management area...
From a COMMAND window type
set oracle_sid=mydb
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup
If you have all the files in the correct location the DB should start. You should then be able to connect with the database manager. Good Luck.

Multiple RAC databases on same GI using different subnets for Public i/face

Hello. We are configuring a 2 node cluster. That cluster will host several RAC databases. For security reasons our networking team want to create separate subnets for the application traffic to each specific RAC database on the cluster.
E.g. application 1 has 2 application servers that will connect to RAC database PROD1 via one subnet, application 2 has 3 application servers that will connect to RAC database PROD2 via a different subnet, etc.
In addition the networking team want to configure a separate management subnet that DBAs etc. will use to administer all RAC databases and infrastructure in the cluster.
Grid Infrastructure version 11.2.0.2. Database versions will vary from 10.2.0.x to 11.2.0.2. All databases will utilise RAC.
We want to take advantage of SCAN listener functionality to support connectivity to all databases on the cluster. Forum thread 2199620 [https://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2199620] suggests that 11gR2 supports multiple subnets, which looks to be exactly the feature we need. Please can you confirm how this works and point us to any documentation (standard docs, white papers, MOS, etc.) that might help us configure this.
Document referenced in thread 2199620 was not exactly what we were looking for, and didn't translate too well in Google Translate.
Any guidance much appreciated. Thanks, Rich.

Thanks Levi. Your advice is very much appreciated.
Your statement that we can only have one SCAN listener listening on one public network is actually the clarification I was looking for.
For anyone else reading this thread I believe this gives us 3 options:
1) Configure a SCAN listener and have all applications, and all management/administration, connecting to the corresponding database on the same cluster via that SCAN listener, all on the same subnet.
2) Configure a SCAN listener for use by all applications connecting to the corresponding database on the same cluster, and use TNSNAMES/VIP for management/administration traffic, both on separate subnets (by configuring the LISTENER_NETWORKS parameter)
3) Configure a SCAN listener for use by applications connecting to one of the databases on the cluster via one subnet, use TNSNAMES/VIP for all other applications connecting to other databases, each using their own subnet. Plus, the management/administration could be via another subnet utilising TNSNAMES/VIP.
From our perspective we will work out the best one for us and implement accordingly.
Thanks again for your timely and comprehensive response.

Another RMAN duplicate problem - RAC database to single instance

Hi,
I have a problem with the RMAN duplicate procedure and was hoping someone can help.
I would like to create a duplicate of our production RAC database on a separate, stand-alone, database server on another site. This duplicate will be used for intensive querying by another business unit who I don't want to have access to our production database.
My procedure goes like this:
1. Create a disk (not ASM) based backup of the datafiles and any archived redo logs:
"run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u02/stage/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel d1;
2. Tar and scp these files to the same location on the stand-alone database server.
3. In the meantime, work has been happening on the production database and further archived redo logs have been generated. I don't really care about these logs for the purposes of the duplicate however, I just want to duplicate to the point of the recent backup. To do this, I run the following SQL to determine the sequence number that I should be duplicating up to:
"select max(sequence#), thread# from v$archived_log where deleted='YES' group by thread#;"
4. Duplicate the production database to the stand-alone database (all the SQL Net stuff is working).
"run {
set until sequence (value returned by above SQL statement);
duplicate target database to XXX;
However, my problem arises because I don't know how to handle the fact that there are two threads. I understand that each thread relates to one of the RAC instances, I just don't know which one to specify for the duplicate. We have a database service which the client application connects through, and that service runs on on or other of the instances. Should I just care about the logs from the instance where the service is currently running?
Am I even approaching this is the correct way?
I look forward to any help that people may be able to offer.
Regards,
Phil

you can see that something is setting the recovery SCN to 569505448 which higher even then any of the archived logs mentioned above. If I select current_scn from the production database, this gives me 569528258 which is closer to the value which RMAN is expecting to recover to than any of the archived redo logs.
Can you think what might be causing RMAN to try to recover to this value? and why does it appear to be ignoring the SET UNTIL SEQUENCE command?
Cheers,
Phil

Restore Oracle XE database to another machine

I have an oracle XE database on a Windows XP machine, and I want to copy it to a Windows 7 machine.
On the XP, I performed a backup through the "Backup Database" from the GUI (BACKUP.BAT). The Oracle backup created 3 new folders underneath C:\ORACLEXE\APP\ORACLE\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\XE\
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
I installed XE on the Windows 7 machine and it seems to work well.
Then I coped the 3 backup folders onto a jump drive and put them in the corresponding folder structure on the new Windows 7 machine. I ran the Restore from the GUI as an administrator (RESTORE.BAT). The restore failed, and I can't seem to figure out why. I'm not sure what the Sequence Numbers are all about.
Now I can't get into Apex or Apex_Admin

Recovery Manager complete.

After playing around a little bit I fixed the problem.
There are a total of four folders in \FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\XE\ I had only copied three of the four.
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
The Windows services keep the files in ONLINELOG open, so I had to shut down the services and then work with the folder. Therefore four folders have to be transported and copied onto the new machine:
ARCHIVELOG
AUTOBACKUP
BACKUPSET
ONLINELOG
If you run as an administrator "Backup" from the GUI, it executes BACKUP.BAT, a batch file which calls RMAN. Once that's done, copy the four folders to the same location on the target machine and then run as an administrator "Restore" (RESTORE.BAT).
In another forum someone said to be sure that the "Archive Logs" are copied. It should be interpreted to mean not just the "ARCHIVELOG" folder, but all four folders.
